My cowboy life is so happy and free Out west where the laws don't bother me I take my troubles like a toy I'm just a yodeling cowboy At the set of the sun when my work is done On my pony I take a ride Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl With my forty-four by my side I go down that lonesome trail just galloping long I love to sing my yodeling cowboy song Where a man is a man and a friend is a friend Where all my cares and worries end I have no troubles nothing but joy I'm just a yodeling cowboy At the set of the sun when my work is done On my pony I take a ride Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl With my forty-four by my side I go down that lonesome trail just galloping long I love to sing my yodeling cowboy song
